Nostalgia is a weird emotion. It’s one emotion that unites us all as people. There’s always something that we miss, a mindset or experience from a bygone era. Maybe it’s the new things in life we have to focus on, the new worries, the change in perspective that causes us to move on from the old things. It’s quite odd and a bit upsetting how the memories we make in present day will be the memories we look back on and get a sense of nostalgia from. As we grow older, it’s saddening to watch as things that were so important in our lives become less and less special due to change. Most people have lost something special to them for this reason, no matter just how important te thing or person was to you. Sometimes I wish I could meet people for the first time again, I never want to forget them, I never want to forget the times I had with them. I’m afraid of growing up, no matter how much I joke about it, I don’t want to make it past 30 years old. Nostalgia might seem like a simple and perhaps comforting concept, but if you think about it long enough, it can become highly upsetting.
